The new Alfa Romeo MiTo is making its debut in Frankfurt. It is equipped with the 85 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo, an innovative engine that won the prestigious title of "International Engine of the Year 2011". The first of a new family of two-cylinder engines developed by Fiat Powertrain, this turbo engine develops 85 HP at 5,500 rpm of full power and a torque of 145 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The revolutionary engine uses MultiAir technology combined with a specific fluid dynamics optimised for maximum fuel efficiency. Excellent performance and above all great flexibility and response with all the available torque from 2,000 rpm and constant up to 3,500 rpm is achieved with the turbocharger. The Mito fitted with the TwinAir engine is able to supply between 10% and 25% more torque compared with the 105 and 78 HP petrol engines currently in the range.
The new engine, available on the Mito in the forthcoming months, is therefore distinguished by excellent performance that transforms into promptness of response, driving excitement and fun for the driver, but TwinAir technology is a true technological gem when it comes to fuel consumption. By using the Start & Stop device and the smart alternator, the Mito with TwinAir engine has the lowest value of CO2 emissions with petrol engines in its class: 98 g/km. In other words, this means a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions (up to 30% less than an engine of equal performance). In fact, it is a petrol engine with fuel consumption and running costs in line with the diesel engines. An agile engine thrifty in consumption, right for driving about town, but also top performing and fun for longer trips.
These two souls of the same engine can be selected by the driver with the Alfa D.N.A. dynamics selector. With a simple move the driver can decide between a higher performing and dynamic driving style (Dynamic) and one more attentive to fuel consumption (Natural). Depending on its selection, the calibration of the engine control unit changes with a reduction of torque by 35 Nm (from 145 in Dynamic mode to 110 Nm in Natural mode).
In addition to the new features under the bonnet, the MiTo TwinAir displayed in Frankfurt offers the new exclusive metallic Nero Ametista body colour, a new design of the light alloy rims and an internal environment completely renewed: two-tone interiors produced with brand new black upholstery for the dashboard insert and cream-coloured door panels. A new high-tech fabric has been developed for the seats, consisting of a smooth, compact elastic mesh yet at the same time fine and shiny like silk, emphasised by the electro-welded graphics with two-tone black and cream double insert and the "breaked line" titanium sign teamed with the seams on the surrounds and the colour of the dashboard trims.
